Why Not Me?

There are no mistakes
There are no failures
There is only life
We made up the word mistake
We made up the word failure
Or I can't do

Our capabilities
Our abilities
Do not know the word NO
Those words did not exist before we existed
Those words did not have strength until we gave them strength

To say something was a mistake is simply to say I have learned nothing
To say you are a failure is to say you have stopped trying
To say you are not capable
Is to say that you have found an excuse
And to say you do not have the ability
Is to say you don't want to attempt

To say I can't
Is really to say I won't

Remember when you stop yourself
From trying something new
Something you have wanted to do
Something you have admired in life as part of you
Remember to remind yourself
That your mind speaks for you without your permission
It is up to your soul to tell it how you feel
To say, why not me????

Why not me
To take on my fears
Why not me
To fix that broken thing
Why not me
To own that home
Why not me
To cook that fantastic meal
Why not me
To feel love in my heart
Why not me
To share the love I feel
Why not me
To set goals and achieve them
Why not me
To plan ahead
Why not me
To do as I dream
Why not me?

For I am a soul too
Just like you
There is no soul more important than another
No matter who they are
Why not me?
No more reasons
No more explanations
Why not you?
It is just someone who already knew
That we made up the word NO!
